Abstract
A system may include a memory and memory controller configured to communicate with the memory over two or more channels. The memory controller may have a buffer with buffer locations distributed across memory channels, and may be configured to receive a write command for writing current data to a memory location within the memory and may be configured to determine whether to buffer data and/or parity, and configured to write the current data or the current parity in the buffer when it is determined to be stored in the buffer. As the buffer is faster and uses less power, the reduction in back-end accesses improves performance and reduces power consumption.
